I recently planted about 20 pumpkins in the front yard in an attempt to grow a pumpkin jungle to cover the weeds. The bugs have chomped most of them though, leaving blank holes in the mulch like that above. There are probably about 6 left! Oh well, someone got fed!
We are not having much luck with food gardening this year, with such a huge lack of rainfall this spring. We are growing what we can, but the time and expense of water to keep everything alive is a big deterrent.

Due to work and other time commitments, we decided to take a break from blogging, but keep what we had achieved in previous years online, to inspire others living a frugal low-income life.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Great website by the way, I really like the idea of building a house out of sea containers. Good work!! 🙂
Love your site!
Sorry to hear about the disappearing plants. If you stick a few cups (catfood/tuna cans) with beer around your plants, the slugs will not eat your plants!
Also, elevating the starts, even a few inches, on a mound will help greatly to reduce excessive moisture issues.
Good luck and check out my site,
